Lightbulb Pics of an SC400 w/ `98-ish 17" rims on it?

Does anyone have any pics they can send me? I'm considering getting either the `98 GS400 17" rims or the 2001/2002 IS300 17"x 7.5 rims. I'm looking to maintain tread width at a minimum of 225. Experiences and advice appreciated. SAMc

Smile IS300's Sport Cross

I've noticed the more recent IS-300 Sport Cross' have rear rim's that are 17'x7.5' on the rear.... and sporting 225/45/17's on them. Having trouble deciding between the two... but the pictures posted above (thanks guys) look pretty compelling.

Why are you guys getting such small rims? 17x7? Honestly, they look funny on the SC.

I wasn't actually looking to shop for 17x7. I just wanted to replace my stock 15" rims that my car came with. They were so dirty and chipping everywhere that no one believed they were chrome until I told them they used to be chrome.

Plus I got a good deal on my IS rims, my friend gave them to me for $400 w/brand new tires.

Default SC430 Rims?

I just wondered how the SC430 rims would look on our cars, yes they are sort of aweful... but supposidly there is another centercap coming out for them that will make them into what they were suppose to be, a 5 spoke rim. Personally I am going to probably buy Supra TT rims, looks good, wide and aggressive, cheap, lots of them around... only draw back is that its toyota... but none the less we really do only have a toyota branded lexus. Anyone have any idea if a centercap would work for the rims? Like a 95 GS3 or a newer SC rim centercap? Any?
